What is a podcast tour, and how does Ace Branding book one?
A podcast tour is a series of guest appearances on other people's podcasts, booked together so your message reaches many engaged audiences over a short period. Ace Branding books these tours for you: after a strategy session, its head of podcasting builds a tour map of shows that match your niche, and the team handles the booking.
- Is a podcast tour the same as a live podcast tour?
- No. A live podcast tour is when a show's hosts perform on stage in several cities, and tickets are sold through venues and event listings. A guest podcast tour, which Ace Branding books, puts you on other people's shows as an interview guest. Ace Branding does not sell tickets to live shows.
- How much does a podcast tour cost?
- Ace Branding does not publish podcast tour pricing; scope and price are set on a free consultation after the team learns your goals and niche. For context, the booking software Podseeker lists a $99 per month plan on its own published page, but software supplies research and outreach tools while you do the pitching.
- What happens after I book a podcast tour?
- Your onboarding starts with a strategy session with Ace Branding's head of podcasting. Based on what you share on that call about your story, audience, and goals, they begin creating a tour map of podcasts that align with your brand and message.

Definition
Podcast tour, defined
A podcast tour, as Ace Branding uses the term, is a done-for-you series of guest interviews on podcasts selected for one expert. Each show is chosen because its listeners match the guest's topic, so the same core message reaches several engaged audiences in turn.
It is different from a live podcast tour, where a show's hosts perform on stage in several cities. Ace Branding books guests onto shows. It does not sell tickets to live events. Read more on live podcast tours vs guest podcast tours.

Niche podcast tours: the shows your audience already trusts
Ace Branding's tour is niche by design. Rather than chasing the biggest shows, it targets influential podcasts within your industry, so you speak to listeners who already value your kind of expertise. For a thought leader, ten conversations with the right audience usually matter more than one with the wrong one.
That focus fits how people listen. Podcast listeners spend about 7 hours per week with their favorite shows, according to podcastatistics.com. A niche tour puts you inside that habit, in front of the people most likely to act on what you say. Read the full guide to niche podcast tours.
A podcast booking agency inside a digital PR firm
Ace Branding works as a podcast booking agency, but it is also a full digital PR firm. That means a podcast tour can sit alongside guaranteed press features in more than 800 publications, regional TV appearances, and Reputation to Revenue Consulting. For thought leaders, it means one team shaping one consistent story across every channel.
If you are comparing agencies, look at how shows are selected, what is guaranteed, and whether you are locked into a retainer. See how to choose a podcast booking agency or read about podcast booking agency cost.
